| Audio Research Ref 250s for Magnepan 20.1s? If it were me, I would sell the 20.1's and buy a new pair of 20.7's. Then I would pick up a really good used powerful SS amp, something like a set of Cary 500 monoblocks or a pair of Magtechs... | |
| RMAF 2012 Postmortem I think the Sanders sounded good, especially in the bass; but overall they cannot match the Magnepans in the mids and highs...overall I still think the Maggies sound better, especially the 3.7 and 20.7's... | |
| The Absolute Sound and Harry Pearson I am pretty good about ignoring the 'brainwashing', I go by what I hear in my room and what I like! I do still enjoy reading the mags though, they are sometimes informative and often entertaining. | |
| RMAF 2012 Postmortem I thought that the big Ventures were the best sounding rig that I have heard in my last 5 trips to the RMAF. It's too bad that they retail for $139,000; none of us will ever own a pair...Saturday evening at 8pm they switched-out the FM Acoustics S... | |
| The New PS Audio PWD MKII Everyone see the new PS Audio dac, 'NuWave'... Interesting. Looking forward to seeing and hearing this dac at RMAF this weekend. | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to Another week with my new 20.7's and I have to repeat what I said above; WOW! These are one of the very finest speakers that I have ever heard!They crush all of the 3 series Magnepans (all of which are damn good!). The 20.7's are rich, full-bodied,... | |
| 30 Years of Perfect Sound? I have plenty of 96hz/24bit recordings and they sound very good through my PS Audio Dac and on my new Magnepan 20.7's, but my very best records still sound better...is the digital better is some ways? Yes! Is is generally quieter overall, check!, ... | |
| 30 Years of Perfect Sound? Huh? The guy is a nut... The best vinyl still sounds better and is more enjoyable to listen too than the 'best' digital. It is true that the greatest limiting factor is the original recording; great original recording is the first and most importa... | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally Mono vinyl would require a second tone arm and mono cartridge... it's only money... | |
| The New PS Audio PWD MKII So, does the sound differ pulling a hirez file wirelessly off a drive into the PWD vs using a direct usb connectio to the DAC? | |
| The New PS Audio PWD MKII Tonyptony, according to the Exhibitor lists on the RMAF site, PS Audio will be in room 1013 in the Marriott Tower... | |
| The New PS Audio PWD MKII I am doing a PS Audio Factory Tour next week while attending the RMAF so I will get some info first hand. Will also take a close look at the PWD MKII at the show. | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally So, should I pre-order this box set or what??? | |
| The New PS Audio PWD MKII Mac mini sounds promising... Have you found that the usb cable makes a difference or does the digital lens negate that issue? | |
| Magnepan 3.7 or PSB Synchrony One? What size is your room? The 3.7's are the far superior speaker overall, but to get them to true potential you need a very good amplifier that can put out some stiff current. For example, there's a great deal on a Musical Fidelity A5 intergrated am... |
